How to Plan Your Trip

The Easy Way

step 1In celebration of our 20th Anniversary - yes, we have been arranging Trans-Siberian trips for the last twenty years since 1998! - we are offering a range of special deals on trips from Beijing to Moscow. We have taken some of our best and most popular trips and rolled them up into a choice of four Trans-Siberian adventures for you and your friends to choose from. Choose which deal you want, then you just need to decide on the dates of travel.

 

Follow the six steps below to build your own ‘trip-of-a-lifetime’!

step 1Take time to have a thorough read of the packages pages on this site or download our brochure for all the info. Most of what we offer is here and although the range of options is initially daunting it will all make sense after a good read!
 
step 2 Choose whether to begin in Beijing, Moscow or Vladivostok and which route and stopovers you wish to take along the Trans-Siberian. All possible options are covered.
 
step 3Choose how long and which stopover options you wish to add in and then add the stopovers costs onto the package cost (which you selected in step 2 above). We offer a range of packages with stops in Mongolia (Gobi Desert and Ger stays), Irkutsk (Lake Baikal) Ekaterinburg (Ural Mountains and Eur / Asia border)
 
step 4 Add on any additional accommodation in Beijing, Moscow and St Petersburg as well as side trips including Ulan Ude, Kazan and Golden Ring. Then decide how you plan to exit Russia / Beijing (we can also book this ticket for you if you wish).
 
step 5 Decide if you want us to obtain your Russian and Mongolian visas or if you want to obtain these yourself at your local embassy. We can apply on your arrival and also offer a postal visa service in Beijing, Hong Kong and London.
 
step 6 Complete the booking form and send to us and we will get right back to you with a detailed quote and any suggestions or amendments to your itinerary as well as what to do next.

 

Routes and Tours

Although our trips aren't always the easiest to put together when planning your trip, especially combined with the various train schedules. You have to decide on your route first and then work out which tours to add on, but it is definitely worth it - and you can always ask for our help. Whichever way, the final result is you end up with an itinerary tailored to your specific interests with dates that work best for you.
